The FDA Alliance, a coalition of more than 100 organizations and individuals, said the U.S. House of Representatives' appropriations subcommittee on agriculture's allocation of $1.7 billion for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fiscal-year 2008 budget is not enough.
While the proposed appropriation is 8% (or $121.5 million) more than fiscal-year 2007, the group is advocating a budget of $2 billion for the FDA in the next fiscal year to restore the agency to its capacity of five years ago.
